The 57-year-old actor, who would be seen next in 'Singh Sahab the Great', ventured into direction with 1999 film 'Dillagi'.
"I am itching to direct a film. There is a director in me, who is desperately wanting to do something. But I am holding it for a year or two. The subject of the film can be anything which strikes me," Deol told PTI in an interview.
'Singh Sahab the Great', which also stars actress Amrita Rao and newbie Urvashi Rautela, is directed by Anil Sharma, with whom Deol has teamed up previously for 'Gadar - Ek Prem Katha', 'The Hero: Love Story of a Spy' and 'Apne'.
The actor said he likes collaborating with the director.
"Sharmaji has always come up with the story which I love and we have always challenged each other because he has come up with subjects which are widely different," he said.
Some of scenes of the movie were filmed in jail, and the actor said he felt relaxed after coming out if it.
